Well, FirstViewers, here we are again at year's end - another twelve months completed, and FirstView keeps on rolling along. So, it's time for a review of the year, and this time we're going to make a special one-page, 12-image, Review Gallery over on the FirstView Gallery site, and you're all going to decide which image we use to represent each month of the FirstView year.
Now, because it's going to be on the gallery site, only images hosted there can be included, but you can still remind us all of any non-gallery images that you feel deserve another airing - assuming they're still available on-line.
For the purposes of the Review Gallery, though, what I've done is made a shortlist of three images from each month. What we'd like you to do is cast a vote for which one you would like to be used for each month of 2009. So, after this post will follow a poll for each month, with the three shortlisted images. If you'd really like to vote for an image that isn't on the list there will be an 'other' option, and you can state in your reply which one you prefer. And if enough people share that preference it will go in instead, so all's fair - okay? But remember - one choice only per member. As mentioned above, if your favourite from any month is one that is not hosted on the gallery site, then by all means tell us, but of course we can't include it on the review page, so do please still vote on that. Finally, I'll keep the polls open for, say, 10 days, so you have plenty of time to choose.
Well, I hope that's all more or less clear. It will take me a little while to set up all the polls and post the shortlists, so do bear with me. In the meantime, here's the 2009 FirstView Gallery index page. Happy reviewing!
[Edit: I should have said - the shortlists are just my own selections - I've tried to spread the choices around a bit so that no-one is over-represented, and tried to include a variety of types of image, etc. But as stated above, you are free to make a different selection if you wish.]
